*Organism (including strain):
Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Etiologic Risk Group (see link below):
*/Disease Information (sort of like the Intro to your Mini Research Write up):
Tuberculosis is commonly known as a respiratory infection caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis and can become fatal if not treated. It can be spread through the air by people who are already infected. The symptoms of tuberculosis include chest pains, coughing up blood or phlegm, and a bad cough that can last 3 weeks or longer.

Essentiality of this protein:
This protein is essential to the ESX-1 secretion apparatus, which provides the principal virulence factors ESAT-6 and CFP-10
